Akio Morita Library
Feel the relationships for yourself
The Akio Morita Library highlights the character of Akio Morita—the founder of Sony—and his wife Yoshiko.
Akio placed his unwavering relationships with people before all else. He was born as the 15th generation of a sake brewer family, but ushered in new business and culture. In doing so, relationships would be an integral part, and that was where his wife Yoshiko and her spirit of hospitality came in.
The Akio Morita Library introduces a number of public and private peices on display for a real look into the couple's success.

Hello Cycling share electric-assist bicycles
Some spots can be a bit of a distance on foot, but a bicycle can get you there and with electric-assist convenience. Tokoname helps you out with its Hello Cycling share bicycle service. The Tokoname Tourist Information Center acts as your base while you travel a much greater space around INAX MUSEUMS, Tokoname Pottery Forest, Rinku Beach, AEON Mall Tokoname, and more. The electric-assist function also makes getting around Tokoname's hilly terrain a cinch.
Use these share bikes for JPY 100 every 15 minutes for up to 24 hours as you jump around from different spots on your own in a tour through Tokoname like no other.
